Bad Filter Design
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This AC worked normally for about a month, and still technically does work, but something is very wrong with the filter's design. I removed the filter for cleaning when the light turned on. When I tried to reinsert the clean, dry filter, it would not go in smoothly. As I slid it out, the bottom right corner of the filter's frame broke. In lower right corner of the space where the filter should fit, there is a piece of white plastic approx. 2" long and some wires. I cannot manipulate the filter either in front of or behind that piece of plastic and I cannot move the piece of plastic up, down, or backwards. I have no idea how the filter was able to fit in that space before. I checked the manual, but it provides no guidance on this issue. It only states that the filter should be reinserted after cleaning. It seems like this AC is designed to break the first time the user tries to clean the filter.

Not that great
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use it for an extremely small bedroom I use for sleeping only. It houses a full size bed, tv stand and tv. It’s a tiny room. You can only use the remote to operate it outside of turning it on or off. It’s extremely loud, even when using “on” option, it makes very loud noises. I also noticed after I purchasing it, what insulates it, is styrofoam. :-(

Rattle box
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the loudest air conditioner that I ever owned. It has a design flaw that emits a loud and annoying rattle during operation. I have much older Frigidaire units that are both quiet & powerful. I will not be purchasing anther GE ac in the future.

Horrible Policy to Quickly Wash Their Hands
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This air conditioner is misleading and very small. It is unable to work for the window set up that I personally have but the return window for this large appliance is 2 weeks so now I am stuck with it. The “best” that “Best Buy” can do is to suggest I sell it on Facebook Marketplace which should honestly be illegal to say because why are you promoting another company to mitigate the pushback on a 2 week return policy for a large appliance? They’re saying because the box was opened stores may credit it at their discretion….but if I lug this thing all the way to the store (as I don’t have a car) and they don’t honor it….then what do I do?
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from GE Answers
Posted .We are sorry to hear this didn't work for your specific window. This model has instructions for a standard double-hung window, and this can be installed without the side curtain panels if needed. Please review page 11 in the manual for details on how this can be installed. Joyce@GEAppliances
